Instant Decision: Who should attend?

and math) or a 19 ACT score (composite) may attend the event.
Students below these criteria should apply through the Mount’s
traditional application process.

What materials should students provide?

Bring a high school transcript and test scores. Test scores
should be official scores from the College Board or ACT. Scores can
also be provided by your Guidance Office. You should also supply a
letter of recommendation from a teacher or guidance counselor, and
a 250-word essay/personal statement. For this event only, a graded
writing assignment is also acceptable.

Should you choose to write the short essay, please respond to

dilemma, or significant experience you've had, and how it impacted
you.
